Drywall
New, bare, repaired, porous, or unevenly sealed drywall may need a compatible drywall primer. Sound previously painted drywall is evaluated for adhesion, sheen, stains, and spot-primer needs.
Site-priced workshop wall upgrade
Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy
A quote-only wall-coating upgrade for hard-use workshops and garages that receive repeated cleaning.
Why Ace Selected It
A Defined Job in the Garage System
Its harder, higher-sheen wall finish suits work zones that are wiped often, while keeping the upgrade separate from the standard residential garage system.
This is a site-priced wall-coating upgrade, not a floor coating. Choosing it in the planner records a preference but does not change the estimator ballpark until Ace confirms the substrate and scope on site.

Before Coating
Preparation and Limitations
Preparation
- Substrate condition and the compatible primer system are confirmed on site before this upgrade is specified.
- The longer recoat and cure window must fit the project schedule, temperature, humidity, and ventilation plan.
- Active water, condensation, mildew, and substrate failure are corrected before work begins.
Important limits
- This is a vertical wall coating—not a floor coating—and it is not intended for continuous immersion or active moisture.
- Semi-gloss reflects more light and can make drywall joints, patches, and block texture more visible.
- Quote-only preference: selecting it in a planner does not silently change the public estimator total.
After Installation
Cleaning and Real-World Use
Wait for the specified cure period. Then use non-abrasive tools and compatible cleaners, starting with the least aggressive method.
Moisture comes first
Paint improves a properly prepared surface; it does not fix active water entry, condensation, mildew, or failing drywall, wood, metal, or masonry. Ace documents repairs and exclusions in the written scope, consistent with the existing two-year painting warranty.
Primer Is a Scope Decision
Each Substrate Is Evaluated Separately
A customer chooses color and finish. Ace chooses compatible preparation and primer after inspecting the actual surface.
Block and masonry
Concrete block and masonry must be cured, clean, dry, and free of efflorescence or active moisture. Porosity and pH determine whether a masonry conditioner, block filler, or compatible primer is specified.
Wood
Bare wood, knots, tannin-prone species, and repaired areas are evaluated separately and receive a compatible primer when needed.
Metal
Rust, mill scale, oil, and failing factory finish must be addressed. Bare ferrous, galvanized, and previously coated metal require different adhesion and corrosion-control decisions.
Common Questions
Questions About Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy
Is Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy used on every garage surface?
No. Ace uses it for wall only. Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and floors have different coating requirements.
Does this product remove a moisture problem?
No. Active leaks, condensation, mildew, efflorescence, and substrate failures must be corrected first. Paint is not moisture remediation, and those causes remain subject to the written painting warranty exclusions.
Is primer automatically included everywhere?
Primer is a scope decision, not a color option. Ace evaluates drywall, block or masonry, wood, metal, stains, repairs, and existing coatings separately and writes the required preparation into the quote.
How many finish coats does Ace apply?
The installed system is based on two finish coats over appropriate preparation. The current product data sheet, substrate, color, conditions, and written scope control the final application.
